The book also features four insightful texts that delve into Lee's artistic practice, as well as her intricate and inspiring personal history. These writings provide context and depth, allowing readers to appreciate the influences that have shaped her work and the themes that resonate throughout her pieces. Rainbow 1 Hour Photo serves not only as a visual exploration of Lee's art but also as a narrative of her journey as an artist.

Additionally, the title Rainbow 1 Hour Photo pays homage to the photo business run by Lee’s parents during her childhood. A special 12-page facsimile insert includes photographs from the family’s archives, capturing moments from the 1970s and 80s in New Jersey and New York City. This personal touch enriches the publication, connecting Lee's artistic practice with her familial roots and the memories that continue to inspire her work.
